The installation of traffic control signals is also justified based on pedestrian activity in the vicinity of the intersection, including a seniors building and schools, the approximate 560 metre distance between crossing protection, TTC bus stops at the intersection, a five lane cross section on Don Mills Road, the high traffic volume on Don Mills Road and by installing signals we will likely draw pedestrians to cross at the intersection. While traffic controls signals will enhance safety for TTC buses, motorists and pedestrians crossing at the intersection, this installation will increase delays for motorists on Don Mills Road, as north/south traffic will no longer operate with free flow.

Staff recommended

The Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at Don Mills Road and Freshmeadow Drive.
